Michelin 12R 22.5 XZ2 Tires

[Don Bradner]

"Direct replacement" it certainly is. Whether it is the same tire is hard to say
- the XZ2 no longer exists so it is hard to find specifications for it.

I believe that when the XZ2 was made, it was the only Michelin RV tire with a
12R22.5 size. The XZE* is currently the only Michelin RV tire with a 12R22.5
size. That tells me that Michelin expects it to be the correct replacement, and
it has been for at least 2-1/2 years.
